Recommended Trailer Dolly for 4,500 Pound Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

Im trying to decide if I need to buy the Trailer Valet XL or if a less expensive trailer dolly would work just as well to help maneuver my travel trailer. The trailer is about 4,500. I plan on using it on a level surface to park the trailer when not in use. Thanks for your help!

For a travel trailer weighing 4,500 pounds, I recommend going with the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL2. The Trailer Valet XL is going to offer much better support for the tongue weight of your trailer than a standard trailer dolly.

The Trailer Valet XL has a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 pounds and a gross trailer weight capacity of 10,000 pounds, so it will work well with your travel trailer. I've attached a review video of the Trailer Valet XL for you.

A traditional trailer dolly such as the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly # RA20 is great for moving around smaller trailers, but they aren't as well suited to accommodating somewhat larger travel trailers such as yours.

You can use the RV Propane Gas Detector #RS64FR (white) or #RS44FR (black) to replace your current Atwood 31013 propane gas detector. This will also use a 12v, 2-wire installation like your current detector.

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Hey Edwin, The Skylight #SR89YR will work perfectly fine with your 1-1/4" thick roof on your 2018 Lance 1575, though they typically will require some trimming to the garnish to fit perfectly. You will want to pick up 2 tubes of self leveling…
